00:00Ahhhhhhh!
00:28I'm Tom Gleeson, and once a week, I disrobe my cloak, descend from my lair, and loudly
00:45squawk,
00:46Caw-caw!
00:47Caw-caw!
00:48Upon which a team of minions assemble around me, and we make a rip-snorter of a TV show.
00:53And when does that weekly time arrive?
00:56That time is now.
00:57Caw-caw!
00:58Caw-caw!
00:59Caw-caw!
01:00Caw-caw!
01:01Caw-caw!
01:02Competing for my affection are five comedians I've been nourishing with grains and nuts,
01:07chewed in my own mouth, and spat into theirs.
01:10They are Anne Edmonds, Jenny Thien, Josh Thomas, Lloyd Langford, and Will Anderson.
01:23And next to me, the man who went to Questacon for schoolies, it's Tom Cashman.
01:30What's our prize task, please?
01:35Our prize task tonight, an object they should adapt into a movie.
01:39Alright.
01:40Why not give the multi-billion dollar streaming industry a few freebies?
01:44Josh, what have you brought in?
01:46I brought in this little duck.
01:48A boy that came to my show gave it to the sound technician to give to me.
01:53I don't really know why he thought I wanted the little duck, but I thought it was really
01:56sweet that he gave me the little duck, and I just thought he'd be really excited right
02:00now to see his little duck on the telly.
02:03It's not an exact reaction to the prompt, but you sort of...
02:06It's filmic.
02:07Okay.
02:08You're essentially wanting to make a film about a tiny duck just because you forgot
02:11to say thanks.
02:13This is for one person, this bit.
02:15It's for one person.
02:17I've made one person's day and night.
02:19I feel okay about it.
02:20I agree with Josh.
02:21I think that duck could carry a film.
02:23Yeah.
02:24It's a shame it didn't carry this segment more.
02:29Lloyd, what did you bring in?
02:32I have brought in a bedside table.
02:37That's not it.
02:42A bedside table built by Jesus Christ.
02:46I have it on good authority that before he got mixed up in all that other stuff, he made
02:58this table, and so I thought you could follow...
03:02You'd start off with Jesus, you know, young Jesus, teen Jesus.
03:05Teen Jesus?
03:06Teen Jesus, yeah, making the table, and then you'd follow the table from 2,000 years ago
03:14through all the different owners and their lives as well.
03:20It's just a bit tough because Jesus made the table, and that feels like a real big peak.
03:24And then what...
03:25That's the opening scene.
03:29That's like if Titanic sank in the first scene.
03:32And then it's just shots of the ocean.
03:37Oh, well, look.
03:43Anne.
03:44Yeah, so my film is kind of like a Western, and the main character is this.
03:49That's a Nokia.
03:51Like it used to be Top Dog in town, and it's like gone away, and now it's back to Avenge.
03:57Like take the iPhone out and reinstate itself as like the Top Dog in town.
04:02Yeah.
04:03It's a film called Nokia.
04:04Yeah, it's just Nokia.
04:06He's back.
04:07Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
04:10Will, what did you bring in?
04:12For a big movie, you've got to leverage off some pre-existing IP.
04:15That's what you've got to do in this modern day times to get a movie made, so I kept it
04:18pretty simple.
04:19Barbie.
04:20Now...
04:21Okay.
04:22I know you hate a pun, and this has not been good for me, and none of these prize tasks
04:31have gone well, so I thought I had to go an extra step, so I literally paid to get
04:36a movie poster commissioned to show you what the movie would look like.
04:48So this movie re-establishes the patriarchy.
04:51See?
04:52I'm into it.
04:53I love it.
04:54We're back!
04:55What a great film.
04:56Jenny.
04:57I was thinking about all the things that get adapted these days.
05:04Comic books are very popular, and a lot of them are featuring a lot of different types
05:07of representation at the moment, but there's still one type of representation that I've
05:11never seen on screen, so what I've brought in is my own comic book that I've made myself
05:16using Microsoft Paint.
05:17It is Eczema Girl.
05:23Is this based on you?
05:27Yes!
05:28There was once a girl with eczema, and she wished every day for her eczema to disappear
05:32until she realised it gave her the power of scratching dry surfaces.
05:38One day her town is invaded by a big moist villain, Gom Tleeson, and she's scared by
05:45his wetness, he's so undefeatable, and just when all hope is lost she remembers he has
05:50a dry sense of humour, and she defeats him with one big scratch and everyone cheers.
05:59That looks like the storyboards for one of Will's shit sketches.
06:05Oh mate, I would dream of that.
06:09Oh well I'd better hand out some scores.
06:12Yep.
06:13There's a lot there to play with.
06:15I'm not sure I could watch 2000 years of just a book being put down on a bedside table,
06:19So one point to Lloyd, I'm going to say two points for The Tiny Duck, you can't make a
06:23whole film about it just because Josh didn't say thank you.
06:26So happy with that.
06:27And then I'll give three points to Jenny, I did like the concept, and four points, of
06:32course you know, there's a film about Tetris, you can have a film about Nokia.
06:35But five points for Will, because we've re-established the patriarchy!
06:40I'll take it.
06:43All the good work done in the Barbie film has been undone.
06:47Alright, I'm itching for a task.
06:49Not as much as Jenny is, but let's do it all the same.
06:52Okay, it's time to see it be up and down with some Up or Down.
07:08Hey Jenny.
07:09Terrible.
07:10Hi Lloyd.
07:11How are you?
07:12I'm okay.
07:13That's good.
07:14This is fun.
07:15You think?
07:16Oh there's the task.
07:17Yep.
07:20Make this balloon hover between the flags the longest.
07:23Already I don't understand it, so that's a good start.
07:26In eight minutes, the crane will release the balloon.
07:28After the balloon is released, you may not touch it.
07:30Before the balloon is released, you may not remove it from the crane.
07:35Your attempt is over once the balloon floats above the flags.
07:38Or sinks below the lower flags.
07:40Longest balloon hover between the flags wins.
07:44Your time starts now.
07:46Make this balloon hover between the flags.
07:48What does that mean?
07:49Oh there's...
07:55Okay, so we have to make the balloon float without going up or down.
07:58Pretty much.
07:59Well this one seems pretty straightforward.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Should we get into it?
08:02Our first two hover crafters are Josh and Lloyd.
08:04So it just needs to hover.
08:06So we want to keep it down.
08:07The only way to really do that is to weigh it down.
08:09But if you weigh it down too much it'll just fall.
08:15Okay, let's see what happens to the balloon now.
08:17See, it's still just floating straight up.
08:19We don't want that.
08:20We want it to dip.
08:25This is fun.
08:26Oh, this is fun.
08:27I like this actually.
08:34It's still floating?
08:37I think two and a quarter marshmallows
08:40I think two and a quarter marshmallows
08:43adhered to the skin of the balloon
08:45will keep it in between the flags.
08:47Okay.
08:48You're happy with that?
08:49Yeah, I'm happy to release.
08:51Anything you'd like to do in the next four minutes?
08:53Yeah, eat some goddamn marshmallows.
08:59You better believe I'm going to start cranking my hog
09:02if that stays in between the flags.
09:04That's what this is for, right?
09:06How much now?
09:07Twelve seconds.
09:08Oh, that's quite soon.
09:09Yep.
09:10Any last words?
09:12Come on.
09:16Well, it's attached to the claw but the balloon isn't
09:19so I feel like I'm winning in a really big way.
09:23No, that's not good at all.
09:29That wasn't good at all.
09:31Shh.
09:38Luckily it went better.
09:44Josh, do you feel better having seen Lloyd's effort?
09:47I watched that and I thought I need to learn to believe in myself
09:50because sometimes things aren't as terrible as Lloyd.
09:57Welcome to my life.
10:01So, Lloyd, you went with two and a half marshmallows.
10:04If you had your time back, how many would you put on?
10:06Well, I went with two and a quarter.
10:08Oh.
10:09But two and a half sounds good.
10:12There are lots of tasks on this series where I think
10:15I'm so glad that's over and I never, ever would like
10:19to think about it ever again.
10:21I'd be well up for doing that for a full day.
10:26Josh's balloon remained within the flags for 17.06 seconds.
10:31That's gorgeous!
10:35Lloyd's balloon stayed between the flags for 1.24 seconds.
10:42Hey, you at home watching.
10:44Yeah, you.
10:45Sorry, but you've got a big chunk of food in your teeth.
10:48It's spinach or something. It's gross.
10:51We'll take a break and you go and get a toothpick
10:53and we'll see you after this.
10:55Thank you.
11:07Welcome back to Taskmaster.
11:09We've just been doing a bit of television business stuff.
11:12All perfectly normal.
11:13Phil Dement, please, clap, man.
11:17Our contestants have eight minutes to do whatever they want
11:19to a helium balloon before it is released by the claw.
11:22They have to make it stay between the flags
11:24for as long as possible.
11:25So far, Josh has managed to make it hover for 17 seconds
11:28and Lloyd also did the task.
11:33Next up, it's him and her trying to Hindenburg.
11:36Here's Ann and Will.
11:38I mean, obviously the temptation is to suck the helium out of it
11:41and just talk like a chipmunk.
11:45Obviously.
11:46But I won't do that.
11:47If it was being held between two things,
11:49would you consider that hovering
11:51or between two things?
11:52Do you think that would be hovering?
11:53I don't know.
11:54What's the definition of a hover?
11:56Up to the Taskmaster, I guess.
11:58That guy.
12:04Do you know what I mean?
12:05How many minutes do I have left, Tom?
12:06Two minutes left.
12:07I'm just going to load this up, I think, with a bit more...
12:13No, maybe not.
12:14Maybe that will balance out the rise.
12:1640 seconds.
12:17I'm going to tape this.
12:20Oh, it's...
12:23That's it, Tom.
12:25Boo.
12:27Well, it's hovering.
12:34I win.
12:35It's hovering.
12:37You feel good about this?
12:38I feel really good.
12:39You've locked into quite an effective strategy here.
12:41This is some of the best hovering I've seen.
12:43I feel... Can I touch it?
12:45No.
12:48Right.
12:50Now, did I remove it from the crane?
12:52Yeah.
12:53Let's do what we're all here to do.
13:00What a great task.
13:02Absolutely loved it.
13:03And I think it's one of your...
13:04I think it's one of the best ones in the show so far.
13:06What would you agree with that, Tom?
13:08I'm really being mocked by the fact that,
13:10well, this is hovering in front of me.
13:13This is some of the greatest hovering of all time.
13:16And I'm going to get nothing for this.
13:18I should be winning.
13:19Look at this.
13:20It's perfect.
13:24Thanks, Phil.
13:26Do you think I won that one?
13:28You don't think I won that one?
13:31You disqualified yourself.
13:32Well, thanks so much for having me.
13:34Oh, wonderful marshmallows.
13:36Don't they have a sensation?
13:38Is this still the helium?
13:39I don't think so.
13:40APPLAUSE
13:45OK, so after Tom releases the balloon,
13:47you may not touch the balloon.
13:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:50So why don't you touch the balloon?
13:52I just keep, like, undercutting myself, don't I?
13:54Like, I actually do a good job and then go,
13:56oh, let me see if I can wreck it.
13:59Can I say a theory?
14:00Yes.
14:01I think you wanted to talk like a chipmunk.
14:03I did.
14:04I can't...
14:05Like, perhaps consider for a moment that I am a comedian
14:08and there's a helium balloon.
14:10Like, I know we're on a show and it's a competition,
14:13but at the end of the day, I'm very, like, honest to my craft and...
14:19..I have to do the comedy that's in front of me.
14:22So before the balloon is released,
14:24you may not remove it from the crane.
14:26So what actually happened? I didn't really see.
14:28It came out when I was... Piddling.
14:30..piddling with it.
14:31And then you got to see just how beautifully it hovered
14:33after you failed.
14:34Honestly, the best thing I did on the entire show.
14:38Normally, if you're disqualified from something,
14:41you just leave in shame.
14:43But I couldn't look away from how well I'd done.
14:46It was, like, perfectly weighted.
14:48It was in the middle.
14:49It's probably still there.
14:51OK, one floater left.
14:53Will she sink or swim?
14:55Or stay in the lab and do the task well or poorly?
14:57It's Jenny Tian.
15:00This might be a really dumb question,
15:02but can't I just, like, tie the string to, like, a chair or something
15:05and that would still count as fine?
15:07All the information you need is in the task.
15:12Now, I've just got to not mess this up.
15:16I'm really quite good about this.
15:21What are you thinking?
15:22I'm thinking I'm really, really quite smart.
15:25Oh, really? Yeah.
15:26Maybe this task is too simple.
15:33Well, that's looking pretty good to me.
15:37All right.
15:38Anyone want some marshmallow?
15:40Do you like the pink ones better or the white ones better?
15:42They're the same to me.
15:43But, like, it's got a flavour.
15:45Marshmallow?
15:46Marshmallow's not a flavour, it's an object.
15:48You don't think these taste the same?
15:50I don't.
15:51I mean, sorry.
15:52Wait.
15:53You think these taste the same?
15:55How are you failing as you're succeeding?
15:59This is your best task yet?
16:02Soak it in.
16:08So, Jenny, you showed a genuine moment of out-of-the-box thinking
16:12followed by,
16:13Marshmallow's not a flavour, it's an object.
16:16I mean, I'm not going to lie,
16:18I just thought this task was so easy.
16:22I was like, this isn't going to air because it's so easy.
16:25Everyone's obviously figured this out
16:29because it's so easy.
16:31I was like, there's got to be more to it.
16:34So then, yeah, I just started offering Tom marshmallows
16:38and doing other things
16:39because, frankly, I got bored waiting for it as well.
16:42It also does explain why Jenny came into my dressing room
16:45the other night and said,
16:46do you think there's a difference between pink marshmallows
16:48and white marshmallows?
16:50Well, what are the scores?
16:51Well, we left Jenny's balloon there overnight.
16:54It was hovering for 18 hours and 21 minutes.
16:57Oh, no.
17:02So what are the points for the task?
17:04Well, Will and Ann were DQed, so they get zero.
17:06Lloyd gets three, Josh four,
17:07and Jenny takes the task with five points.
17:12Alright, and what about the episode scores so far?
17:15Well, with all the buoyancy of a beautiful red balloon,
17:17Jenny has floated to the top with eight points.
17:21OK.
17:22Give me another of your little goodies there, boy.
17:25It's our final team task of the season.
17:40Hello. Hi.
17:41Oh.
17:42What do you think about this choice?
17:43You look different.
17:44Let's have Tom. Let's have Tom have a look.
17:47Whoa!
17:49He looks dumb!
17:50Oh, my God, it's a working camera!
17:53And it's...it's already recording.
17:56Oh. Oh, OK.
17:58This is fun.
18:00Create an authentic and heartwarming family home video.
18:05Create an authentic and dysfunctional family home video.
18:08You must film the video on this camera.
18:10Most authentic family wins.
18:12You have 30 minutes. Your time starts now.
18:15We need to be, like, a family unit, the three of us.
18:18I think so. I think so.
18:19Dysfunctional family is the key word here.
18:22Someone flies back from overseas for a family reunion.
18:25They were fighting in the military.
18:27Oh, whoa!
18:29I think Mummy's Got A Secret.
18:34OK, Mummy's Got A Secret.
18:38And you've set up some genuine intrigue with Mummy's Got A Secret.
18:43Did you, when they read the task and they read this first
18:45and it said heartwarming family,
18:46did you think me and you had both f***ed it again?
18:48Yes. I thought you had reading problems.
18:50I thought they read it and I thought,
18:51oh, no, me and Anne did dysfunctional.
18:53Just to be clear, we want a heartwarming family story
18:55and that's what we're going to get from the discount Wiggles
18:58and we're also going to get a dysfunctional family story
19:00from the premium economy hoolie-doolies.
19:03But what I'm judging you by is how authentic they are.
19:06Who's up first?
19:07Let's begin with our heartwarming family.
19:09Here's Mother Jenny, Father Will and their beloved child Lloyd.
19:15Another Christmas without Oscar.
19:17Bloody Christmas Day, love. Oh, my God.
19:19Bloody Merry, bloody Christmas.
19:21It's been years and years since we've seen our son Lloyd.
19:24I just, I miss him so much, darling.
19:26I don't know what my life is without him.
19:29Admit it, darling. He's probably, he's probably dead.
19:32He's probably bloody dead.
19:34I didn't even get to hug him once in our entire lives.
19:39I never got to hug him.
19:40You don't bloody hug boys, love.
19:42I've always told you this.
19:43You feed them bloody meatballs and turnips
19:46and they grow up to be proper bloody men.
19:48You know, I don't know where you are in the world, my son.
19:51I just, I miss you so dearly
19:53and I just, I just, I wish you were home
19:56and I wish I could give you a hug.
19:59Darling, do you want to record a message for Lloyd as well?
20:03No, I don't bloody want to record a bloody message for Lloyd.
20:06Darling, you have to record...
20:08Mum.
20:09Dad.
20:11Private Lloyd reporting for family reunion Christmas.
20:16Oh, my God.
20:17Oh, my God.
20:19Oh, son.
20:21Son, I'm making bloody Christmas meatballs and turnips.
20:27It's your bloody favourite, son.
20:29It's my favourite. You've made it.
20:31And I feel, I feel so emotional.
20:34I've been overseas on top secret duties for so long.
20:37What have you been doing?
20:39What have you been doing?
20:41I've been overseas on top secret duties for so long.
20:44What have you been doing?
20:46Well, I can't tell you everything.
20:48Tell us.
20:49Some of it is classified.
20:50Tell us what you've been doing.
20:51Your parents, you can tell us anything, my boy.
20:53Tell us.
20:54But, you know, Osama bin Laden.
20:56Yeah, of course.
20:59Oh, you did that.
21:01That was all me.
21:02You went and...
21:03I was part of the SEAL team.
21:07Oh, my God.
21:09Yeah.
21:10My boy.
21:11I would not be more proud of my son.
21:13Keep it under your heart, though, because it's classified.
21:16Oh, my goodness.
21:18Son.
21:19Son.
21:20I am so...
21:23I'm so...
21:24Come here.
21:25I'm so proud of you.
21:27Oh, thank you.
21:29We couldn't have hoped for a better person to kill Osama bin Laden.
21:33That's the first time Dad has touched me not in violence.
21:38Oh, my God.
21:46Lloyd, why did you want to make the story heartwarming
21:49by evoking the memory of 9-11 by mentioning Osama bin Laden?
21:54Was it necessary to drag that into a comedy show?
21:57The narrative was the father and the son, they'd never hugged.
22:00That was the story.
22:01So we were going to have this authentic Christmas reunion.
22:04They were going to hug for the first time
22:06and Lloyd just thought the thing that might spur that hug
22:09would be finding out that your son had murdered Osama bin Laden.
22:13The hug that your character, Will, gave Lloyd,
22:16is that the hug that you would like to receive from your own father?
22:19Yes, and that's why it was so authentic, Tom.
22:22What do you think he might be thinking?
22:24He's probably watching now.
22:25He's not.
22:29So, Jenny, did you find it hard,
22:31because you make a lot of videos on TikTok,
22:33was it difficult making something that long and in landscape mode?
22:38I was, like, seeing it and then I saw the red button
22:41and then the graininess and I was like,
22:42oh, my God, it looks exactly like one of those TikTok filters.
22:49Alright, time for a short break.
22:50Go give your boy a hug, would you?
22:52It's not that hard. See you soon.
23:03Welcome back to Taskmaster,
23:04where we've all been having a little itch on Jenny's ex-mum.
23:09What else is happening?
23:10We're watching authentic family videos.
23:13So far, we've seen a heartwarming tribute to a soldier's return
23:16after slaying Osama bin Laden.
23:18Next up, it's the dysfunctional family.
23:20It's mother Anne and her only son, Josh.
23:25The thing is, it's just give me two more days
23:29and we can run away together.
23:31I know you're my boss and also my son's best friend's father,
23:35but I love you.
23:38I can't stay with Bruce. I can't.
23:43That time him and Josh auditioned for Australian Idol
23:47was the worst day of my life, the humiliation.
23:52I've never recovered.
23:53What? Mum!
23:55Oh, here she goes. Look at her. Look at her.
23:57Josh! Look at her!
23:58Josh, sweetie!
23:59Tell them what you said.
24:00No. Australian Idol, you were wonderful.
24:04You were the best one there.
24:06I don't know why they didn't put you through, Josh.
24:08It's going to go viral.
24:09Yeah.
24:10Give me the camera, sweetheart.
24:12No.
24:13Give mummy the camera.
24:14No.
24:15Give mummy the camera.
24:17Give mummy the camera!
24:19Give mummy the camera!
24:23Give mummy the camera!
24:25Ah!
24:26Ah!
24:27Ah!
24:28Ah!
24:29Ah!
24:30Ah!
24:31Ah!
24:32Ah!
24:33Ah!
24:34Ah!
24:35Ah!
24:36Ah!
24:37Ah!
24:38Ah!
24:39Ah!
24:40Ah!
24:41Ah!
24:42Ah!
24:43Joshie!
24:45Ah!
24:48I've killed my only son!
24:51I'd go to a million Australian Idol auditions
24:54if I could just have my boy back!
24:57Ah!
24:59Ah!
25:00Ah!
25:16It's just a lot to take in.
25:18I like the Blair Witch vibes.
25:20I think they're very good.
25:22So, what was mummy's little secret?
25:24Was it that you actually think your son was not a good singer,
25:27the murder or the affair?
25:28The affair was the main secret.
25:31But yes, that also I think he's not a good singer.
25:33And then obviously, yes, I've killed him.
25:36Wait, you think that the affair is a worse secret than murdering me?
25:41Australia's sweetheart?
25:46Yes.
25:48What do you think about my tactic of mostly just putting Ann Edmonds in it?
25:51Oh, less Josh is always more enjoyable for me.
25:55I thought the performance, Ann, was very authentic.
25:57Thank you. I have wanted to kill people before.
26:01Feels like you didn't need to go too deep to find that emotion.
26:04No, yeah, I've definitely got a violent streak.
26:06And I like to get it out.
26:10That was fun. I really enjoyed doing that.
26:12Yeah.
26:12So I have to give out some scores.
26:14You do.
26:15It's pretty easy. I mean, I just love the chaotic energy of the
26:18premium economy huli-dulis.
26:20I believed in Ann's performance.
26:24Are you saying you don't think I could kill Osama bin Laden?
26:28No, well, I think the hug at the end was very authentic.
26:30But that was mostly due to the empty hole in the middle of Will Anderson's body
26:35that you're trying to fill.
26:36Well, you could fill it with some points.
26:43I must say, they were very close.
26:44I think they were both great films.
26:45So it's going to be 5-5, 4-4-4.
26:47Lovely.
26:52OK, let's have another task.
26:54OK, for this next one, we're off to the pub.
26:56Or as I once heard the taskmaster refer to it, under his breath, home.
27:10Hello.
27:12Hi, Josh.
27:12Ooh, what have we got here then?
27:15Hi, Ann.
27:15Hello.
27:16Is that an accent?
27:17Yep.
27:18Cockney British, I think.
27:19What have we got here then?
27:20A few chips and a bit of a beer?
27:23Wow.
27:25Win the pub quiz.
27:27Tom will ask 10 questions.
27:28You must write down each answer on your whiteboard within 30 seconds of Tom asking.
27:34No phones.
27:35Your time starts when Tom asks his first question.
27:40It's a bit warmer than I'd like, but that's OK.
27:42It's a bit colder than I like, so you know what?
27:46We've found a happy medium between.
27:50Ask away, my friend.
27:54All right, well, win a pub quiz sounds pretty easy.
27:57I guess it's...
27:58Oh, actually, was Lloyd missing?
28:00Yeah, we didn't see Lloyd.
28:01Didn't see Lloyd in that one.
28:02Yeah, maybe it would help to see the task that Lloyd was given.
28:06Write the pub quiz for the other comedians.
28:08Your quiz must have 10 questions.
28:10Your quiz questions may not include any contestant's name.
28:13Tom will give your quiz to the other four contestants.
28:16Will Anderson must win the quiz.
28:19Jenny Tian must come second.
28:21Josh Thomas must come third.
28:23Ann Edmonds must lose the quiz.
28:25I mean, that'll be straightforward.
28:27If they end up in that order, you will get five points,
28:30and they will get zero points.
28:32If they end up in that order, you will get five points,
28:34and they will get zero.
28:35If they come in any other order, they will get three points,
28:38and you will get zero.
28:39You have 10 minutes.
28:40Your time starts now.
28:48So they all have to win the quiz in that order.
28:50Yep.
28:51And then Lloyd will get five.
28:53But if it's in any other order, the others get three.
28:56And Lloyd gets nothing.
28:57So it's all or nothing with this particular order for Lloyd.
29:00I feel like this task is impossible for me to win.
29:05And not knowing Jenny very well at all,
29:08and not knowing Josh well at all,
29:10and, like, not knowing Ann that well.
29:17OK.
29:17Well, I think we just need to see this one.
29:19Answering quiz questions as written by Lloyd Langford,
29:22here are Will, Jenny, Josh, and Ann.
29:24Ready for your first question?
29:25Yeah.
29:26Yes, Tom.
29:26Which instrument did Miles Davis play?
29:29I'm going to go with piano.
29:31OK.
29:32Trumpet.
29:33Ann wouldn't know that.
29:34I don't reckon.
29:35Sax.
29:37Will Anderson must win the quiz.
29:39What does he know about?
29:40I know where he lives.
29:42Question two.
29:43What day of the week is the Mullumbimby market on?
29:45What is that?
29:47There's some Saturday markets as well, but mostly it's on a Friday.
29:50Oh, he knows Tom Gleeson though, right?
29:53What is Tom Gleeson's wife's name?
29:58I've met her.
29:59This is going to be so rude.
30:00Ah, Ellie.
30:01I hope that's right.
30:02I really like her.
30:03I can see her face.
30:04You can see her.
30:05She's a really nice person.
30:07What an awful question.
30:08What is Tom Gleeson's waist size?
30:13Because Will knows about clothes.
30:15They're mates, right?
30:15You try on each other's trousers, messing around.
30:18So I'm going to say he's a 34-inch waist.
30:20OK.
30:22Trim.
30:24Right, who was the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2023?
30:31I can't simultaneously come up with a question that Will is going to know.
30:35Taylor Swift.
30:36Anne isn't.
30:37Shaking it up.
30:38Jenny sort of does.
30:39Taylor Swift.
30:40And Josh might.
30:41Taylor Swift.
30:42And what decade was the Sydney Opera House built?
30:451920s.
30:46Who directed The Godfather?
30:49Francis Ford Coppola.
30:50I know something, see?
30:52What are the ingredients for Moscow mule?
30:54Vodka, ginger beer, and lime.
30:55What did Steve Jobs die of?
31:00Anne won't have a clue.
31:01Pancreatic cancer.
31:04Disease.
31:06I've got one question left, but we'll make it an interesting one.
31:10On 9-11, which of the planned targets wasn't hit?
31:15Pentagon?
31:15They hit the Pentagon.
31:17Google it.
31:17There was definitely one that wasn't hit.
31:19They got it.
31:20Oh, they did, yeah.
31:21Fair play.
31:23Your time's running out.
31:24It's too wishy-washy a question, isn't it?
31:26You can't change it now.
31:27Final question.
31:28On 9-11, which of the planned...
31:31Are you sure?
31:32On 9-11...
31:33No, no, no, babe, babe, babe, I'm going to stop you right there.
31:35We don't need to do this.
31:36On 9-11, which of the planned targets wasn't hit?
31:39Did you come up with this?
31:41If I was planning to take down America,
31:43that would have been the White House.
31:45So I'm going to say President Bush.
31:48Stop judging me!
31:49I can see you judging me.
31:50That's a man.
31:51What could really shake America up, you know, at that time and...
31:55They got him with a plane.
31:56But they didn't.
31:58They didn't.
31:59They didn't get him.
32:01Thank you, Tom.
32:08Lloyd, why do you keep dragging 9-11 into this comedy show?
32:12You keep dragging that misery right into the centre of this light-hearted show.
32:16Tell me the theories you're always saying at home.
32:22I wish I could say that those last two tasks were filmed close together
32:28and it was just in my mind, but that isn't true.
32:33But what I love is, like, finally the revelation of what the theme of the questions was.
32:39Because on the day, I was like, who came up with these questions?
32:45What moron!
32:48So did Lloyd achieve his goal?
32:50No, I know I didn't.
32:53So just a reminder of the rankings we're looking for.
32:56So we were looking for Will to win, Jenny to come second,
32:58Josh to come third and Anne to come fourth.
33:00Lloyd, back yourself like ISIS.
33:09Okay, so what order did they actually get?
33:12Jenny got two questions correct.
33:14Will and Anne both got four questions correct.
33:16And Josh was the winner of the quiz with five points.
33:20Josh, so what are the scores?
33:23So Lloyd was unsuccessful.
33:24So that means three points for Anne, Jenny, Josh and Will.
33:32All right, time for some ads.
33:33See if you can guess how many times Anne tries to casually drop my wife's actual name
33:37into conversation over the next five minutes.
33:39See you back here soon.
33:41Love you, Ellen.
33:51Welcome back to Taskmaster.
33:52And we're nearly at the end of our penultimate episode of season two.
33:56And I still won't let this joker next to me look me in the eye.
34:00Nor should you.
34:02Call us academics because we're about to engage in a peer review.
34:19Hi, Jenny.
34:19Hey, Tom.
34:20Oh, hello.
34:22Hi, Lloyd.
34:23Hello.
34:23What are you doing in the... lurking around the corridors?
34:26I think there's something in your locker.
34:28Oh, no.
34:29I didn't even know I had a locker here.
34:33Oh, gosh!
34:40Was that supposed to be scary?
34:44Ew, that's a bit wrong, isn't it?
34:46Make a surprising appearance.
34:48Most surprising appearance wins.
34:50You have until the studio record of episode nine.
34:53Your time starts... now.
34:57Where?
34:58Up to you.
35:00What?
35:01You mean I've got, like, days?
35:04Okay.
35:04Weeks.
35:05Something to think about?
35:07Yeah.
35:08Thanks, Lloyd.
35:09Thank you.
35:16Jenny, I think it's a special skill to be confused by such a simple task.
35:21Is it that simple?
35:23Yeah.
35:23I don't think it was...
35:24Surely other people were confused?
35:27No, we just...
35:27No, okay.
35:29We literally just watched footage of all of them not being confused.
35:32Even me.
35:34It was just a bit of humble homework, wasn't it?
35:36A bit of a homework task?
35:37That's right. It's up to them where or when they appear and how they capture that appearance.
35:41Okay, who's first?
35:42He may be a catch, but can he catch us off guard?
35:44It's Josh Thomas.
35:45I could do it to Anne when she does this challenge.
35:48I could be in there.
35:50Could you fit in there?
36:04It doesn't feel good.
36:08Hi, Anne.
36:08Hi, Tom. What are you doing in the... lurking around the corridor?
36:11There's something in your locker right here.
36:13Ooh, what is it?
36:18Ew, that's a bit wrong, isn't it?
36:21Is that surprising?
36:22It was a bit, but did you expect me to have more of a reaction than that?
36:24Maybe.
36:25Do you want me to do it again?
36:26No, it's okay.
36:27No, no.
36:28No, don't do it again.
36:36That was good.
36:38Really terrified me.
36:43That was very good.
36:44That was great.
36:47My finger was bleeding.
36:48I showed you after.
36:49I was in the locker looking.
36:50I was holding the door and I was watching blood come out of my finger.
36:55And then she said, should I do it again?
36:57And I thought, I'm not going to make it.
37:01Yeah, I think it was a very effective surprise.
37:03I was very surprised that you could fit in there.
37:06They're very small lockers.
37:07I mean, it got a great result though, so you must be happy with that.
37:10I'm happy, yeah.
37:11That's a good, nice, solid start.
37:13It was very good.
37:15Another, please.
37:16Hopefully she doesn't knock her own socks off because not wearing socks can exacerbate eczema.
37:20It's Jenny Tian.
37:22Okay, so I am currently dressed as Lloyd Langford.
37:25So I'm currently in Anne Edmonds field outfit and I'm Welsh.
37:32And I'm going to give him a surprise appearance.
37:35I am currently in Josh Thomas's outfit and I'm going to surprise him.
37:41I am now in Will Anderson's outfit and I'm going to surprise him.
37:47He's eaten like half the marshmallows in this.
38:12Oh, hello.
38:15How are you?
38:22Why are you dressing like me?
38:25You look good in that.
38:27That's very naughty.
38:28Are you in my outfit?
38:30Jenny, where did you get it from?
38:31You're a psycho.
38:33Get out of here.
38:34Oh, this is for the TikTok.
38:37No, it's for episode nine.
38:39Surprise appearance.
38:40Oh, it's for the show.
38:47Did it feel good to finally film something properly?
38:53Yeah.
38:53Feel like you're back to normal now?
38:54Yeah, a hundred percent.
38:55Yes.
38:56Okay.
38:56Well, I think that was pretty effective.
38:58Um, got some great frights there.
38:59Who's next?
39:00Will she take us aback or bring herself to the front?
39:02It's Anne Edmonds.
39:04The human behaviour expert says it's one of the biggest signs you're micro-cheating on your partner.
39:10She says hiding interactions with a colleague is also a red flag
39:13because it can erode trust in your personal relationship.
39:16This behaviour expert obviously never been asked for an after work drink.
39:19That's what's happened here.
39:21So the extra froth on my latte, that means nothing.
39:24Well, no, that's just, that's from the barista.
39:26I think that's got, you might be having a micro-relationship with the barista.
39:36I must admit for a while there, I was thinking,
39:37why are you making me watch the project?
39:40It's a wonderful show on this very network.
39:43Um, no, um.
39:47Wait, did that go to air?
39:49Yeah.
39:49Did people see it when it went live to air?
39:51No, I don't think so.
39:51We missed it.
39:52Nobody messaged you or anything?
39:54No, just, that's...
39:58I might give you an idea of ratings.
40:02Okay, one more.
40:03Will this stunner have a shocker or will he stun and shock us?
40:06It's Lloyd Langford.
40:10So that was at the Adelaide Fringe.
40:33I'd just come off stage.
40:34You gave me a bit of a fright.
40:36I'd been crouched down in that box that I found out was full of mouse shit.
40:44With an air horn and a wig on.
40:46And then Tommy Little was backstage and was like,
40:49take your shirt off.
40:53Which, by the way, is what Tommy Little says to everyone backstage.
40:59It's a bit tricky for me.
41:00Now it's hard to judge because for me that was a visceral reaction.
41:03I thought I was about to die.
41:04I thought someone was going to jump up and stab me and just,
41:06as I was dying, just whisper into my ear,
41:08you're not Greg Davies.
41:11Well, you're not.
41:12Oh, I've been killed by a nerd.
41:15What's Reddit going to think?
41:18Okay, well, we've got one more surprising appearance still to come.
41:22But who will it be?
41:23I can't think of something that would be easier to deduce.
41:27Come back after these advertisements to find out.
41:34Hello, welcome back to Taskmaster.
41:41Lester Ton, catch the people up.
41:42Our comedians had more than a month to make a surprising appearance.
41:45So far, Josh climbed out of a locker and went on the project.
41:49Jenny did some TikTok-y stuff and Lloyd got in a dumpster.
41:53We have one last comedian left.
41:55And when we asked him before the show where his surprising appearance footage was,
41:58he said he'd already sent it and we just needed to take a closer look.
42:02So let's take a closer look.
42:04Here is Will Anderson.
42:22I could be in there.
42:24Could you fit in there?
42:32So how did you get yourself into all those positions?
42:51Well, Jenny's surprised to me.
42:53I only happened today.
42:54So luckily I was already in that one.
42:58So your justification was you were in that one?
43:00Yeah, that was fine.
43:01But the rest of them, it was a lot of planning.
43:04One of them I had to travel back in time for.
43:07Well, I have to score these, don't I?
43:08You do.
43:09Most surprising wins.
43:10Okay.
43:11Well, I found Josh's the least surprising.
43:13Okay.
43:13Just because he jumped out of a locker.
43:15He was standing at when you handed out the task.
43:17Yep.
43:18Two points to Lloyd because I didn't find watching it surprising
43:20because I knew what was going to happen.
43:26I was like, here we go.
43:28Anne's going to get three points.
43:29It was very surprising.
43:31But the fact that I keep watching the project was even more surprising.
43:35Four points to Jenny.
43:36Mostly because it's going to be a great TikTok video
43:38that's going to go viral and put this show on the map.
43:42But five points to Will Anderson
43:44because I was genuinely surprised at the effort he went to.
43:50Okay.
43:51Now, how are those episode scores going?
43:53Continuing to appear at the top.
43:55It's Jenny in the lead on 19 points.
43:59All right.
44:00Get up on that stage for our final task of the show.
44:07All right.
44:08We've got some thongs and some barbecues.
44:10This looks like some good old ochre fun.
44:13Who's reading the task?
44:14Lloyd, if I could ask you to read this.
44:16Toss the most thongs with the tongs onto your barbecue.
44:20If at any point a golden thong is tossed with tongs onto another barbecue,
44:26all the thongs on that barbecue will be cleared.
44:28If you touch a thong with your hand at any point, you are disqualified.
44:33All tossing must be done from your spot
44:36and you may not move your spot or your barbecue, especially you, Anne.
44:42Most thongs remaining on a barbecue after 150 seconds wins.
44:47Your time starts now.
44:59Oh.
45:22Wait.
45:23Wait.
45:25Wait.
45:27What?
45:29Oh.
45:36Can I get my...
45:36Can I get me some here?
45:37Can I get these?
45:39Yes, yes.
45:50Josh is being disqualified.
45:51Why?
45:53You're touching them with your hands.
45:55I thought we weren't allowed to touch them when we threw them.
45:59Oh.
46:0630 seconds remaining.
46:1410, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
46:28All right, time for a break.
46:32We'll see you soon with the final scores.
46:43Welcome back, did you miss us?
46:44All right, Squire, what's happening?
46:46Well, we were just throwing some thongs with some tongs onto some barbecues
46:49and we're about to find out how each of our contestants did.
46:52Okay.
46:53We know how one of our contestants did.
46:55Thanks, guys.
46:56Thank you.
46:57Okay, so how many thongs were thrown?
47:00So I can confirm Josh had 16 thongs but he touched way more so that's irrelevant.
47:05Will had five thongs on his barbecue
47:07and Lloyd and Jenny all had nine thongs on their barbecue.
47:13Wow.
47:16Which means they each get five points.
47:18Will gets two and zero for Josh.
47:20But what does that mean if we don't know our episode winner?
47:23Tell us.
47:24Turning Will into Ill by picking up the W this episode, it's Jenny Tian on 24 points.
47:30All right.
47:31Congratulations, Jenny.
47:33Go back up on stage and get ready to appear excited to get your crack.
47:38But what does that do to our scores overall for the whole season?
47:42Well, Josh, Jenny and Will are trailing
47:43but out in front there's going to be an interesting ride home.
47:46Lloyd is on 142 points and is out in front with 144.
47:50Okay, that's it for our second-to-last episode of our season
47:55where, as always, we have learnt some things.
47:57We learnt Mummy's secret and it was a doozy.
48:01Lloyd has zero remorse when it comes to getting a laugh out of a historical tragedy
48:06but most of all we learnt that Jenny was the winner of our episode.
48:10Join us again next week for our final episode.
48:13Good night.
48:21Welcome to the grand finale of Taskmaster Australia season two.
48:36By the end of this show, we will have a serious champion.
48:40You don't even have a dad.
48:41I'm not going to hurt you.
48:42I'm working so hard.
48:44Is he Swedish?
48:46I feel despondent.
48:47I've got to go big.
48:47There we go.
48:50What on earth was that?
